Peter Zijlstra 60519a39ae locking/lockdep: Fix bad recursion pattern
commit 10476e6304222ced7df9b3d5fb0a043b3c2a1ad8 upstream.

There were two patterns for lockdep_recursion:

Pattern-A:
	if (current->lockdep_recursion)
		return

	current->lockdep_recursion = 1;
	/* do stuff */
	current->lockdep_recursion = 0;

Pattern-B:
	current->lockdep_recursion++;
	/* do stuff */
	current->lockdep_recursion--;

But a third pattern has emerged:

Pattern-C:
	current->lockdep_recursion = 1;
	/* do stuff */
	current->lockdep_recursion = 0;

And while this isn't broken per-se, it is highly dangerous because it
doesn't nest properly.

Get rid of all Pattern-C instances and shore up Pattern-A with a
warning.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
